Truck of the Year for 2001: The Chevrolet S10
The S10 ZR5 is equipped with a General Motors 4.3 liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 12 valves. The Vortec engine is mated to a General Motors 4-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.
Steering control is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The S10 has power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The truck uses torsion bar front springs and leaf in the rear.
S10 ZR5 Statistics
The dimensions of the S10 ZR5 are 77.50 inches wide by 189.80 inches long. It sits a comfortable 74.90 inches off the ground. It seats a standard eight passengers, with 4 doors. The wheelbase of 111.20 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.
The standard warranty period for the S10 is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the crew cab pickup market.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $23,441 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $21,214. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 4-door Crew Cab Pickup.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel system for the 2001 S10 is a traditional Central SFI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 27.00 gallons.
The S10 ZR5 received a miles-per-gallon rating of seventeen in-city driving and twenty three when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green truck, this was subpar.
In Summary
The 2001 model year was unsuccessful for the Chevrolet S10. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the ZR5 version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
